Watch Ghost Lake For Free

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely brilliant

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

OK, three words: WORST MOVIE EVER!!!Generally I'm into that kind of "horror" b-movies a lot. But this one was by far the most outrageously ridiculous of each and everyone I had ever seen...First, it wasn't scary. But that's OK because only a few of them are. Second, it didn't have a plot. Again, that's OK because even fewer do. Third, the acting was pathetic (I guess my goldfish could be more convincing). Yes, once more that's OK because none of us watches these movies for their Oscar-deserving performances. But what I simply found totally insane was that it wasn't even funny!What's the point in watching a splatter b-movie if there's no laugh - at least?Yes, this movie is groundbreaking after all. Groundbreakingly meaningless!

I'm generously giving this movie a 2 rating only because we laughed so hard we cried at several points during it. This film is absolutely awful! The dialogue is stupid, I'm pretty sure the casting was done by knocking on neighbor's doors asking them if they'd like to be in a movie and the "special effects" are completely laughable (hence the 'laughing until we cried' part). Of course, there are a couple of gratuitous nudity scenes for all you men out there. If you watch this purely out of curiosity, take notice of the horrible blood splatter effect and the sinking boat scene. We laughed so hard we had to rewind and watch them again just to laugh even harder! I can't believe someone out there actually funded the making of this atrocity! LOL

It feels like I've seen way too many low budget horror movies of this one's ilk, and can without a doubt say that 90% of them are poor at best. Every once in a while one comes along that is better than most, and Ghost Lake fits that bill. The acting is acceptable, the story intriguing, and the atmosphere suitably creepy. Several of the subplots were unnecessary, although one in particular made the film much more depressing, which many times takes away from the "fear factor," if you will.The thought of what lies beneath the waters holds a certain mysterious and terrifying fascination, whether it be shipwrecks, predators, buildings, or bodies. In Ghost Lake, an entire town lies somewhere beneath the waters - a fairly unique concept. What's even more interesting is that the lake where filming takes place actually covers the remains of two towns, flooded by the construction of a dam in rural New York state.Unfortunately, this concept could not be capitalized upon by actually revealing some of the underwater town - at least some CGI glimpses might have been appreciated. I think viewing an underwater shipwreck in and of itself us especially creepy and terrifying - placing the supernatural in such a setting would amplify the feeling.Anyway, I did find myself entertained with this movie, and maybe it would be the same for you. There are certainly less appealing ways to kill and hour and a half.

Becky's comment to Grandpa Tomson's question of "Why is all this happening" pretty much sums up my feelings about this gosh-awful flick, which rips off so many other decent movies it's hard to keep track. The cover had me fooled--perusing through the rental store, I thought I'd stumbled upon a zombie flick I hadn't seen yet (always a good thing), but it's NOT a zombie flick at all--zombies EAT people and traditionally don't talk, and that didn't happen here, so it can't be a zombie flick. Rather, it seemed to want to be a version of the far-superior "The Fog" (1980--not to be confused with its abominable wanna-be 2005 version). I'm a big one for an engaging plot and characters I can understand--this had neither. Even the guilt trip that Becky had as a result of her parents dying the ONE night she goes out in how long, made no sense. And about understanding it--I couldn't follow the line of logic, if it even HAD one. OK, the ghosts come back every 13 years--why?? Oh, wait, that one guy killed his dad 13 weeks after the little girl drowned, which was 13 months after someone else died...???? And the "death sequence" got totally messed up--OK, the dead couple dragged the young couple off the beach, then the young couple took the car-crash couple?? Does the newly dead person get to take another live person right away, or do they have to wait 13 years, or WHAT??? By the time the cop died, I stopped caring and just wanted to see how it played out. I should have listened to my DVD players, which started skipping about 1.5 hours into the flick. I finally got it to play to the end. Boy, that was a relief (insert sarcasm) here. The awards should all go to whoever designs the video covers--THAT was scarier than the entire film.
